PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION
A. Remove the plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from the door.
Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from the door at this time, label them and store them in a protected area.
B. Remove the shipping spacers. Carefully slide the movable panel halfway open and remove the spacers from both the top and bottom of the
movable panel.
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL & FRAME SAFELY.
C. Remove the venting panel by lifting it out of the lower track and tilting the bottom of the panel away
from the door frame. Then, lower the panel out of the top track. Carefully set the panel aside.
Note: Assemble the OXXO frame per the instructions included with the door splice kit.
Óꢂ
D. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or tear the fin corners.
Note: If the fin is not at 90°, the door will not line up correctly on the interior.
3
SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR
A. Place three 3/8" beads of sealant. The first bead should be approximately 3/4" from the exterior of the rough
opening, the second 2-1/2" in from the first bead of sealant. Place a third bead of sealant in the groove of the sill
support or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood blocking.
Îꢀ
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
B. Insert the door from the exterior of the building. DO NOT slide the bottom of the
door into the opening. Sliding will damage the sealant lines. Place the bottom of the
door at the bottom of the opening, then tilt the top into position. Center the door
between the sides of the opening to allow equal clearance for shimming, and insert
&YUFSJPS
Î
one roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end of the top nailing fin.
These are used to hold the door in place while shimming it plumb and square.
Î
C. Plumb and square door. Insert shims, as necessary, between the door
*OUFSJPS
and the sides of the rough opening starting up 6" from the bottom of
the door.
Îꢁ
Note: DO NOT OVER SHIM.
D. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the
interior face of the door to the interior face of the wall is equal at
several points around the door.

G. Architect Series and Designer Series: Apply sealant and insert a #8 x 2-1/2" screw (provided) into each hole in the bottom of the door frame
(shown above in gold).
H. Architect Series and Designer Series: Position and secure the panel retainer by drilling pilot holes through the remaining holes in the
retainer into the sill support or wood blocking, then apply sealant to the holes and insert a screw into each hole as specified below.
Aluminum sill support: 9/64" pilot holes, #10 x 3/4" thread cutting screws (provided).
Wood blocking: 1/8" pilot holes, #10 x 2-1/2" flat head wood screws (provided).
Masonry floor: 3/16" x 1-3/4" concrete screw. Pilot drill per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.
I. Remove the factory installed screws from the retainer and repeat the process.
J. Architect Series and Designer Series: Drill a 3/16" clearance hole at each indentation in the extrusion at the top of the door frame into
the rough opening, stopping when the drill is through the door frame. Apply sealant to each hole, then insert a #8 x 3" stainless steel
screw into each hole.

INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING FELT
Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto
the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape 1/2"
before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply the tape
correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the
fold so the exterior sealant line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
&YUFSJPS
{ꢀ
A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut 2 pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than the
frame height of the door. Apply one piece 1/2" up onto the frame cladding,
over the nailing fin and onto the flashing paper to each side. The tape
should extend 2" above the top of the door and 2” below the bottom of the
door. Press the tape down firmly while folding down the excess tape at the
top and bottom of the door.
&YUFSJPS
B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long enough to go across the top of
the door and extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2"
up onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape
down, and press all tape down firmly.
{
ꢀꢁ
Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water from
getting behind it.
C. Apply the top flashing paper. Cut one piece of flashing paper at least 21" longer than
the width of the rough opening. Position the bottom edge of the flashing paper flush with
the frame of the door and center the flashing paper with the width of the door. Staple the
flashing paper to the header.
{ꢁ
Note: When applying the first layer of building felt, ensure the sill flashing paper overlaps the
building felt. This will tie the door system into the building water management system.
5
REINSTALL THE SLIDING PANEL
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL SAFELY.
A. Insert door panel. From the exterior of the building, tilt the top of the panel toward the door frame and
insert the top of the door panel into the top track. Move the bottom of the panel toward the door frame until
it is vertical. Gently set the panel down into the bottom track.
Architect Series: Adjust the panel clip and tighten the panel clip screw.
ProLine only: Install bumpers and the panel retainer. Follow the instructions included in the hardware box.
xꢀ
Note: Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the two panels. DO NOT close the sliding panel until
you have installed the hardware. The door may lock when closed.
B. Install the handles and panel retainer. Follow the instructions included in the hardware box. If the panel is not square to the door frame,
adjust the bottom rollers by removing the adjusting hole cover and inserting an 8" long #2 Phillips screwdriver into the hole. Turn clockwise
to raise the panel and counter-clockwise to lower the panel. Follow the instructions included in the handle box for final adjustments.
C. Install screen. Instructions for installing the screen are found in the screen door package.

INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door installation foams and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s
recommendations for application. Use of high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door to bow and
hinder operation. DO NOT use fiberglass insulation.
A. Apply insulating foam. From the interior, insert the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep
into the space between the door and the rough opening and apply a 1" deep bead of foam. This will
allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. If using foam other than Great
Stuff ™ Window and Door Insulating Foam Sealant by the Dow Chemical Company, allow the foam
to cure completely (usually 8 to 24 hours) before proceeding to the next step.
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to the interior face of the opening.
6A
B. Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.
Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level, square and
that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with a serrated knife.
Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.

A. Insert backer rod into the space around the door leaving at least a 1/2"
clearance between the backer rod and the exterior face of the casing bead.
Note: Backer rod adds shape and depth for the sealant line.
B. Apply a bead of high quality exterior grade sealant to the
entire perimeter of the door. At each end of the bottom of
the door, insert sealant into the spaces between the bottom
of the door and the sill support and connect it to the
perimeter sealant.
Çꢀ

C. Shape, tool and clean excess sealant. When finished, the
sealant should be the shape of an hourglass.
Note: This method creates a more flexible sealant line
capable of expanding and contracting.
D. Remove plastic guards at the base of the door once
construction is complete.
